CLSU researchers develop 6 biopesticides

A TEAM of researchers from the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) in Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, has found six plants possessing botanical pesticide or biopesticide properties, which can be an alternative to commercial pesticides.

Botanical pesticide or biopesticide is a substance derived from plants capable of protecting selected crops against certain diseases and pests.

The researchers used plants they collected in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bataan and Aurora in Central Luzon.
